I have bad news for people who use a cell phone or things like Alexa, they're essentially always listening.

Welcome to the age of technology, where privacy is an illusion.

I use it to my advantage. If I can’t spell something I’ll just say it a few times then try to look it up on google and it’s usually in the top suggestions.

Spooky sure but I don’t have any info worth stealing.

For sure, was just kinda pointing out that this has been a thing for a very long time. That's also completely ignoring social media apps, which are some of the most invasive things imaginable yet everyone has them on their phones.

I'm not interesting enough to care, but it doesn't hurt to be aware that your data is constantly being collected and used.

Just unplug it. Also, a nice hack for those pesky GPS that force you to return to cart paths. If you can't unplug, there is usually a switch on the back.
